A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Su Xiangling nodded, "Tell Guan Zong that you should just make friends with Mr. Zhou. Don't let anyone see that he has an ulterior motive. After you get to know him, find a way to find out why he came to the capital."

Zi Luo nodded and said, "Don't worry, young lady. Guan Zong is a commoner in the market and is best at this kind of trick. He also said that this matter cannot be rushed and asked young lady to give him a few months."

"No rush, maybe he just came to the capital for sightseeing." Su Xiangling said to herself.

In Huajin Pavilion, Su Qingyu and Song Wanwan chatted for a few more words about recognizing their relatives before leaving the shop and returning home.

The carriage wheels slowly turned, and Su Qingyu, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly said, "Let's go to the south of the city and buy some beef biscuits to bring back to the old lady and the third young lady."

Wangji in the south of the city is a century-old brand that only sells beef biscuits. No matter when you go, there is always a long line outside.

Jade asked Su Qingyu to wait in the car while she went to queue up to buy.

Su Qingyu couldn't sit still in the carriage, so she got off and planned to walk around.

Next to Wang’s Pastry Shop is Zui Xiang Ge, the largest restaurant in the south of the city.

Su Qingyu looked up, and suddenly her eyes tightened.

The man sitting by the window on the second floor drinking was Mr. Zhou. Opposite Mr. Zhou sat a man he didn't know, about 30 years old. I didn't know what they were talking about, but it was clear that they were having a good time.

Su Qingyu narrowed her eyes slightly, but said nothing and turned away.

Feicui waited in line for a quarter of an hour and bought two large bags of beef biscuits.

The beef pie is best eaten while it's hot. The master and his servants got on the carriage and went straight back to the Shen family.

When I entered the house, I heard that Shen Zhixiu had returned and was in the study.

Su Qingyu left a portion of beef biscuits, left Qingyuanju, and went to the study in the west courtyard.

As soon as she entered the room, she regretted it. She still couldn't look at that desk straight.

The moment I walked in, I remembered the ridiculous thing that happened in the study last time.

Shen Zhizheng was writing something with his head down. When he looked up and saw her come in, he sniffed hard.

"What's that smell? It smells pretty good."

Su Qingyu quickly dispelled the messy memories in her mind and walked to his side.

She reached out and pinched a beef pie, and handed it to his mouth, "I bought it specially in South City."

Shen Zhixiu rarely eats snacks, and the few things he likes to eat are not very sweet. But he can eat more of this kind of savory beef biscuits.

Shen Zhixiu let her feed him, opened his mouth and took a bite, but did not stop writing.

Su Qingyu's eyes fell on the desk and she saw that he was writing a letter to Li Yunzhou, so she didn't say anything to interrupt him.

After a while, Shen Zhixiu put down his pen, put the letter into an envelope and sealed it with wax. He stood up, opened the door, and handed the letter to Wenzhu who was guarding the door.

"Didn't you go to see your fourth aunt's sister? Why didn't you have lunch outside?"

The beef biscuits were a bit greasy, so Shen Zhixiu asked someone to bring in tea.

The couple sat opposite each other, and Su Qingyu picked up a shortbread and started eating it. While eating, she talked about the Song family's plan to recognize a godparent.

"My fourth sister was afraid that it would affect you, so she asked me specifically."

Shen Zhixiu shook his head and said, "Let her feel at ease and boldly accept this godparent relationship. It will only benefit her. As for my relationship with the Song family, it has nothing to do with these matters in the inner house."

After thinking for a while, he added, "I will go there in person on the day of the recognition."

Afterwards, the two of them talked about the prince again. After they had said a few words, Zhenzhu came in and reported, "Madam, Princess Yongjia has come to see Princess Chaoyun. She is now in Hanshui Courtyard, and the mother and daughter are talking."

According to etiquette, when Princess Yongjia arrived, Su Qingyu should go and talk to her for a few words and then stay for dinner.

But Su Qingyu had already torn her face with Li Chaoyun, so naturally she was impatient to deal with Princess Yongjia. She was afraid that when she got in front of Princess Yongjia, she would not be able to help but slap her twice. After all, considering what she had done to Li Yunzhou, two slaps were not enough.

"Pearl, go and deliver some supplements and snacks yourself. Tell them that the manager is doing the billing and I can't leave."

As for whether Princess Yongjia believed it or not, or what she thought, she didn't care at all.

Sending someone over there is just a way of showing courtesy so that no one can find fault with it.

In the next two days, Su Qingyu carefully prepared gifts, intending to give them to the old lady of the Song family and others as Su Shunci's sister.

On the afternoon before the godparents were recognized, someone suddenly came from the Su family and said that the old lady wanted the eldest daughter to return home.

Su Qingyu did not refuse, she changed her clothes and took the carriage back to the Su family. She had not been back since her grandmother had a stroke.

After getting off the carriage, Su Qingyu went directly to the old lady's Songhe Hall. When she entered the door, Zhichun, who was beside the old lady, came out to greet her.

"The eldest lady is back, the old lady is waiting for you."

Zhenzhu calmly stuffed a purse into Zhichun's hand and said, "Sister Zhichun, our Madam knows that you have worked hard to serve the old Madam. This money is for you to buy flowers for her."

Zhichun's face lit up, "Miss, you are too polite. This is what I should do."

As he spoke, he led everyone towards the main room.

"How is your health these days, grandma? I have a lot of things to do at home and have not had time to come back."

Zhichun had just received a reward, and he spoke frankly, "My health is improving, but the old lady has been a little irritable lately."

Su Qingyu hummed, and then asked, "Who usually serves me? Second Aunt and Third Aunt?"

Zhichun shook his head and replied, "The old lady gets angry when she sees the third lady, so it's the second lady who takes care of her. At night, the masters take turns to accompany her."

Hearing that it was the He family who was taking care of her, Su Qingyu felt much more relieved.

It was a good opportunity for Third Aunt to take a good rest.

"I don't know why my grandmother asked me to come here." Su Qingyu muttered to herself.

Zhichun looked around and said in a low voice, "It seems to be about the fourth young lady's adoption of a godparent."

Su Qingyu nodded and just arrived at the main room door. Zhichun lifted the gauze curtain and respectfully let her in.

Su Qingyu walked around the eight-panel rosewood screen inlaid with white jade and saw her second aunt He sitting by the bed feeding the old lady medicine.

"Greetings, Grandmother. Greetings, Second Aunt."

Su Qingyu bowed and the maid brought over a brocade stool.

After sitting down, Su Qingyu looked at her second aunt He and was a little surprised for a moment.

After only a few days of not seeing her, Second Aunt already looked extremely haggard. She could see that she had put on a thick layer of powder on her face, but it still couldn't hide the blue eye sockets.

Su Xiangling was also there, wiping the old lady's mouth with a handkerchief.

After drinking the medicine, the old lady half leaned against the head of the bed with a thick, soft pillow behind her.

When he moved, it was obvious that half of his body was powerless, and he had to rely on the help of Madam He and Nanny Yuan to move.

After leaning against the wall, the old lady looked at Su Qingyu and said, "I heard that the Song family wants to adopt Ah Ci as their adopted daughter?"

Su Qingyu nodded, wondering secretly in her heart, could it be that her grandmother knew about this and wanted to bring Ah Ci back again?

The old lady continued, "I think the Song family adopted her as their adopted daughter just to get closer to the Shen family, right? Otherwise, why would they be interested in someone like Ah Ci?"

Su Qingyu frowned. She was displeased by the old lady's words that belittled Su Shunci.

But before she could say anything, the old lady spoke again.

What he said made Su Qingyu shocked and angry.
